Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: A meaningful sentence should begin with the principal clause, followed by descriptive and modifying phrases.

Step 1: Identify the main clause.
The sentence naturally begins with: \[ (B)\quad \text{I appeal to the people of Delhi,} \]

Step 2: Add the qualifying phrase.
\[ (C)\quad \text{as responsible citizens,} \]

Step 3: Add the purpose.
\[ (D)\quad \text{to burn only green crackers} \]

Step 4: Complete the statement.
\[ (A)\quad \text{following the guidelines of the Supreme Court.} \] The complete sentence becomes: I appeal to the people of Delhi, as responsible citizens, to burn only green crackers following the guidelines of the Supreme Court. Thus, \[ (B),(C),(D),(A) \] \[ {\text{Option (B)}} \]
